Understanding the Oscillot® System: How It Works

The Oscillot® cat fence system uses a clever design to stop cats from climbing over fences. It's not complicated, but it works really well. Let's look at how this smart system keeps your cats safe in your yard. The Oscillot® system is based on knowing how cats climb and behave, making it work well without hurting or scaring your pets.

The main part of the Oscillot® system is the paddle. These paddles are attached to the top of your fence. When a cat tries to climb up and over the fence, the paddle spins. This makes it hard for the cat to get a good grip, so they can't climb over. It's a simple idea, but it's very effective at keeping cats in your yard without hurting them. The paddles turn easily, so if a cat tries to climb, they just slide off without getting hurt. Cats learn quickly that they can't climb the fence, so they stop trying. The system also works quietly, so it doesn't disturb the peace in your garden.

DIY Installation Guide: Step-by-Step Process

Installing your Oscillot® cat fence kit is something most homeowners can do themselves. It's not too hard, and you don't need to be a DIY expert. Here's a simple guide to help you set up your cat fence:

1. First, check your existing fence. Make sure it's in good shape and at least 1.8 meters tall. This height is crucial for the system's effectiveness. 2. Measure your fence to know how many paddles you need. It's important to be precise to ensure complete coverage. 3. Start at a corner and attach the brackets to your fence. Use a level to ensure they're straight. 4. Slide the paddles onto the brackets. Make sure they can rotate freely. 5. Keep adding brackets and paddles along your fence. Maintain consistent spacing for optimal performance. 6. When you're done, test the paddles to make sure they spin freely. This is crucial for the system to work properly. 7. Check for any places near the fence where cats might climb, like trees or sheds, and adjust your setup if needed.

Remember, you can always check the detailed installation guide if you need more help. The most important thing is to take your time and make sure everything is secure. Setting it up right means your cat fence will work well and last a long time. If you have any problems while setting up, you can ask Oscillot® for help with specific questions.

Customising Your Cat Fence: Adapting to Different Fence Types

One of the great things about Oscillot® cat fence kits is that they can work with lots of different types of fences. Whether you have a wooden fence, a metal one, or even a brick wall, you can usually make the Oscillot® system fit. This means you don't have to change your whole fence to keep your cats safe. You can use the Oscillot® system on almost any fence, which means you can keep your yard looking nice while making it safe for your cats.

For wooden fences, you can screw the brackets directly into the wood. If you have a metal fence, you might need to use special clamps. For brick or concrete walls, you'll use wall plugs and screws to attach the brackets. The Oscillot® kits come with different fixing options to help you set up your cat fence no matter what type of fence or wall you have. The system works on all kinds of fences, like picket fences, chain-link fences, and even glass barriers. If your yard isn't flat, you can adjust the system to follow the ups and downs of your garden, making sure it keeps your cats safe everywhere. If you have a really tricky fence to work with, Oscillot® can give you extra help and special solutions to make sure you can set up the fence properly.

Maintenance and Care: Ensuring Long-lasting Protection

To keep your Oscillot® cat fence working well for a long time, you need to take care of it. But don't worry, it's not hard to do. Here are some easy tips to keep your cat fence in good shape:

1. Check the paddles regularly to make sure they spin freely. If they get stuck, clean them and oil the moving parts. Do this check at least once a month. 2. After bad weather, like strong winds or heavy rain, take a look at your fence to make sure nothing has come loose. Check areas where water might collect. 3. If you notice any parts that look worn out or damaged, replace them. You can get spare parts from Oscillot®. Keep a few spare parts handy for quick fixes. 4. Keep plants and trees trimmed back from the fence. This stops cats from using them to climb over. Regular garden care helps the fence work better. 5. In winter, make sure snow and ice don't build up on the paddles, as this can stop them from spinning. 6. Every so often, check that the brackets and fixings are still tight and secure. Weather and shaking can sometimes loosen these over time. 7. If you live somewhere very sunny, think about spraying the plastic parts with a UV-protector once a year to stop them from getting damaged by the sun.

By doing these simple things, your cat fence will keep working well and keep your cats safe for years to come. Remember, a fence that's looked after well is a fence that keeps your cats safe! Taking care of your fence regularly not only makes it work better but also makes it last longer, giving you good value for the money you spent on keeping your cats safe.
